Don't vote on IRC. Mailing-lists are the only recognized channel for the ASF because they provide archives and can easily be searched for specific events. <personal rant> IRC is fine by small talk or interactive bug tracking but please don't use IRC for design, feature discussions or anything with a major impact on the project. It segregates against time zones, against newbies/lurkers on the mailing-lists and prevent useful input from casual users/developers. On the whole it makes the community harder to join because a lot of things happens outside of the visible/archived channels. </personal rant> -- Raphaël Luta - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache Portals - Enterprise Portal in Java http://portals.apache.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
